Sign Both Initiatives

We're collecting signatures RIGHT NOW, to put the Freedom from Aerial Spraying of Herbicides Bill of Rights on the 2017 ballot in Lane County!!

The original Aerial Spray Ban Charter Amendment included clauses that protected the Law (should it pass) from Preemption.

However Lane County Judge Carlson thought the issue of preemption was separate, therefore making us run TWO initiatives, rather than one.

Right now, because of the Right to Farm and Forest Act, the practice of aerial spraying of herbicides is protected by our government. And we're told by the State of Oregon that we don't have the RIGHT to say NO to the practice of aerial spraying.

Our Community, Our Rights (OCOR) -

RIGHT NOW OCOR is collecting signatures for The Right of Local Community Self-Government Charter Amendment which will protect our Aerial Spray Ban from preemption.

So we need BOTH initiatives to enact and protect our aerial spray ban!!

"These sprays, dusts, and aerosols are now applied almost universally to farms, gardens, forests, and homes -- nonselective chemicals that have the power to kill every insect, the "good" and the "bad," to still the song of birds and the leaping of fish in the streams, to coat the leaves with a deadly film, and to linger on in soil -- all this though the intended target may be only a few weeds or insects. Can anyone believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of poisons on the surface of the earth without making it unfit for all life? They should not be called "insecticides," but "biocides."-- Rachel Carson, "Silent Spring," p. 18
